Cedar Bloom

157 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents100 acres · Cave Junction, OR
Cedar Bloom was purchased in the spring of 2017 by Spirit Weavers Gathering as a place of peace and healing, for all walks of life. Spirit Weavers is an annual women's gathering which happens once a year each June. We host over 1,200 women in just two weeks on the land. Our beautiful forested land is located in Southern Oregon, in a small town off the 199 Redwood Highway. The land which we call home is 100 acres of beautiful protected forest and sits upon a mile of the Illinois River. We are very fortunate to be surrounded by a widely diverse population of flora and fauna. As caretakers of this sacred land, we feel a strong responsibility to honor our plant and animal allies by not only protecting them and their habitat, but also to help educate others about what lives and grows here by providing people with opportunities to experience the beauty of these plants and animals for themselves. For this reason, We are honored to host the many different groups who will gather here on this land for learning and communing with the nature that flourishes here. We feel very fortunate to be involved in this process of helping promote a sustainable and abundant future for all living things on this planet by sharing knowledge and skills from the human past that can make a sustainable lifestyle a reality for everyone everywhere. This is our home and we are happy to share it with you!

Sustainable Ecovillage

5 sites · Lodging160 acres · Gasquet, CA
The Smith River Complex Fire took our property on August 16th, 2023. Updates on our progress here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fucaTaOwf5c PLEASE NOTE, 4WD is required in order to access the sites. Please message me if you have any questions prior to booking. Sustainable Ecovillage is an off-grid project for sustainable living. If you are looking for a unique experience and up for rustic accommodations among goats, chickens, a permaculture food forest with a few off-grid perks, we welcome you to join us in our mountainous, wilderness paradise! Our 160-acre property is surrounded by about a million acres of National Forest. Our neighborhood is all made of trees, huckleberry bushes and animals. We love it here. It is very remote, peaceful, and functionally sustainable in its focus. The closest neighbor is a Buddhist Hermitage about a mile up the forestry road. Also, supposedly, Sasquatch live here! (it is the epicenter for documented sightings). Most visitors to the area are interested in spending time in the redwoods – we are about 30-45 minutes from the nearest entrance to Jedediah Smith Park, home of Stout Grove and other beautiful redwood hikes. Driving into Crescent City, about 45-60 minutes, winds you right through the "gentle giants" on your way to or from Redwood National Park. We are self-sufficient, and sustainable in a relatively primitive set-up, especially after the fire this year. It's mountainous and remote, and we have a community agreement about no smoking (of any kind) on our land.

Klamath’s best kept secret

20 sites · RVs, Tents4 acres · Klamath, CA
We have been a family owned RV Park/Campground for over 40 years. This is a very rustic, old-fashioned campground located at the end of a neighborhood next to the river. As mentioned this is also a RV Park so there will be RVs on site. It is an open field campground dispersed with trees. Neighbors will be present. The river access is right over the levee just a few minutes walk from your campsite. Fishing on the river is allowed but you need a license. We are near the woods and river so wildlife is present. Please make sure your food is put away nightly to discourage critters from coming into camp. The campground is just a short drive from a selection of hiking or biking trails. As well as other attractions like the Jet Boat Tours and Trees of Mystery. Located at the end of a glen cell service in this area can be spotty or non existent depending on the carrier. Wifi is available near main house but is limited to emails, messaging and mapping your next adventure. We welcome people of all seasons. Just ask that you are kind and respectful to each other. Well Behaved Pets Are Allowed. Children and Laughter are Always Welcome. We look forward to your visit. August and September there will be fisher persons in the campground. So be warned of early morning engine noise as they head out to the river for fishing. Electric cars that want to charge there is a $10 fee at time of service. Must make arrangements ahead of a time because 50 amp services are limited. Plus you need to bring your own adapters.

She has tons of recommendations, but our favorite was the Indian creek cafe across the river. The areas so great and clean and the host cares about her guests! Would recommend!"

The best camping near Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park guide

Overview

About

The northernmost of California's redwood parks, the densely-forested Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park is home to seven percent of the world's old-growth redwoods, spread out over more than 5,500 acres. It's a popular spot for hiking and camping, and the park’s location on the Smith River makes it an ideal destination for fishing and summertime swimming. The park has four cabins and 89 campsites, each with a picnic table, a fire ring, and a bear box, and while there are no RV hookups here, some sites can accommodate motorhomes up to 36 feet in length.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  • Campsites are available on a first-come, first-served basis from October until early May and are available for reservation from May through September. Cabins are reservable year-round.
  • You can reserve campsites and cabins using the online ReserveCalifornia system, or by calling California State Parks.
  • Cabins and campsites go live at 8am, six months in advance.
  • Hike-in and bike-in campsites are also available on a first-come, first-served basis.
  • If you arrive at the campground to find it full or have trouble reserving a site, you may have better luck at Del Norte Coast Redwoods State Park or at one of the area's private campgrounds or Hipcamps.

When to go

The best time to visit the park is from July through September, when temperatures are at their warmest and rainfall is at its lowest. July and August tend to get more crowds due to summer vacation, while September tends to be the sweet spot if you're looking for warm weather and fewer crowds. Peak fishing season is from October to February, but if you come between late fall and the end of spring, be prepared for a lot of rain.

Know before you go

  1. The nearest place to pick up groceries and supplies or fill up your gas tank is Crescent City, an 8-minute drive from the park.
  2. Make sure to pack out all garbage and keep food, beverages, cookware, and toiletries in the provided bear-resistant lockers.
  3. Firewood is available for sale from the camp hosts, but gathering firewood in the park is prohibited.
  4. The visitor center, cabins, and many of the campsites and restrooms are wheelchair accessible.
  5. While fishing is allowed in the Smith River, there are restrictions, and anyone over age 16 must carry a license. Details are available through the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
